Shah Rukh Khan recently expressed his pride and joy as his daughter, Suhana Khan, embarked on her journey into the world of movies. Suhana is all set to make her debut in Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film, The Archies. As the film’s release date approached, Shah Rukh took the opportunity to engage with his fans through an #AskSRK session on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). During this interactive session, he was asked about his feelings regarding Suhana’s entry into the film industry.
When one eager fan shared a family portrait of the Khan family from The Archies‘ premiere and asked Shah Rukh Khan how he felt about Suhana’s foray into movies, the doting father had a heartwarming response. He expressed, “It’s lovely to see your children grow up and start working hard.” This sentiment encapsulates the pride and admiration that Shah Rukh feels as he witnesses his daughter venturing into the world of cinema.
Another fan shared a video from The Archies‘ premiere, capturing a tender moment between Shah Rukh and Suhana as they walked hand in hand. The fan asked Shah Rukh how he felt during that particular moment. In response, with pure elation and excitement, Shah Rukh declared, “I feel like the King of the World!!!” These words resonate with the overwhelming sense of accomplishment and joy that every parent experiences when their child pursues their dreams.
Furthermore, a photo from The Archies‘ premiere showcased Shah Rukh Khan sharing a light-hearted moment with his co-star and close friend, Kajol. The two have been the Bollywood industry’s most beloved on-screen couple, having shared the screen in iconic films such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. When a curious fan inquired about the nature of their conversation in the photo, Shah Rukh humorously revealed that he was playfully asking Kajol to send him an expensive Christmas gift. He playfully remarked, “I was telling her I am home admiring Christmas, don’t forget to send my gifts!!! She always does, but I wanted some expensive one this year!!” This witty exchange between the two stars exemplifies the camaraderie and affection they share both on and off-screen.
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s last collaboration was in 2015 for the film Dilwale, directed by Rohit Shetty. Despite their hiatus from working together, their chemistry continues to captivate audiences, and fans eagerly await their reunion on the big screen.
As busy as Shah Rukh Khan is attending to his daughter’s budding career, he is also dedicated to his own craft. Currently, the superstar is eagerly anticipating the release of his third film of 2023, Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki. This film, set to hit theaters on December 21st, also stars talented actors such as Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal.
